• Satellite Pro A300-1PW: keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left

  Hi all

  I really hope someone can advise me pretty quickly. I will explain why.
  I got a new laptop Satellite Pro A300-1PW this morning ready for a Christmas gift for my other half.
  During the inspection, the keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left on the left side.

  After running the Setup process and open Notepad, all keys seem to work and that there seems to be no flex in the keyboard, which almost seems to be made in this way.
  As a Christmas gift, I really want to give him the laptop if it is a manufacturing defect.
  Before I found this forum, I went and sent an email to the vendor to record the fault and possibly arrange for a replacement, but can someone please let me know if this is how this model is in fact.
  I know some might think I'm too worried, but the laptop to give me some money and I want to make sure that everything is, or is not very well.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  This problem, you can also specify with the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. In my opinion, you should contact them and explain the situation. You might get a replacement keyboard.

• Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

  Hello

  I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

  I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
  I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
  I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

  In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
  Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

  Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

  Thank you very much

  Hi mate

  I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

  The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

• Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

  Hello

  There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

  After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

  But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

  So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

  And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
  Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
  Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

  Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

  It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

• Satellite Pro A300 - should it BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

  Hi all.

  Any Satellite Pro A300 has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
  It is mentioned on this page: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/easyguard2008/EN/manageability.aspx

  I have A300-01:00 (regular Satellite, not Pro), but its T5850 has not VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS. Wonder what is the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro BIOS and can I try to use Satellite Pro A300 BIOS for my A300-01:00. Of course, I'm afraid I can't :(

  Thank you, Andy

  Hello Andy

  As far as I know the BIOS is not a universal startup program and is suitable for specific hardware architecture. Because of this Toshiba doesn t offer a BIOS for several models of laptops.

  If your laptop doesn't have virtualization option then there is nothing to do. Updating the BIOS will not help any.

• Shutdown on Satellite Pro A300 problem

  I flashed the Bios with the latest version, did not help my problem.
  After stopping the machine down, the slot voltage stays on, even if the disks hard etc. are off.

  If you hold down the power button on this point, the machine turns off completely, then you can start again.

  Also, when the machine is turned on, the power button is strangely.
  Sometimes a single press stops the machine, sometimes it restarts. Sometimes, he won't do anything

  Someone at - it an idea of that which is the cause, now that an update of the bios did not fix.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Looks like you would define the notebook in Hibernate or standby mode setting and would not shut down the Satellite Pro A300.

  Please note that the closed button Vista default settings are set to sleep.
  If you want to change the settings go to:
  -Control Panel > Power Options > change Plan settings
  -Click on advanced settings
  -Expand power buttons and lid. Then Expand the menu button start and change of sleep at the stop.

  "If the laptop has been on standby mode it is possible happens that it wakes up automatically because of some options activated as alarm clock on keyboard ' and 'Battery critical WakeUp' or 'wake on LAN '.

• Satellite Pro A300 - how to install the webcam?

  I got my laptop via my uni so did amyn backup discs (especially not the webcam).

  Basically my laptop is a Trojan virus on my webcam, set it and I restarted my computer. It is then flashed up on reboot that I need to install my webcam but I don't have the disk and now I can't use my webcam! What should I do?

  PS I'm not a genius with computers so please be easy on me with the language.

  Hi mate,

  If you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam you can download on the Toshiba site and all drivers for your laptop:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and it s not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery disk because you create such a floppy yourself. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop and you can create this disk. It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

• Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

  Hello everyone,

  I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

  Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

  What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

  My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
  Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Best regards
  Osman

  > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

  I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
  Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

  Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

  Nothing so unusual...

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. Should I keep or not?

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E. It came pre-installed with Vista and also a DVD to upgrade to windows 7 Professional (that I installed).

  I tried to start the machine this morning, but for some reason it wouldn't start. All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

  The thing is that I have seem to have been able to solve this problem, but I do not understand how and why this happened!
  The issue seems to be related to the battery. At first, I tried to boot up the laptop (with only the battery connected) however it would not start. I don't think this has nothing to do with the amount of battery charge, because it had more than enough in it. I then tried to start it with just the power cable (and no battery). For some reason any that seemed to do the trick, and the laptop has been able to start. The laptop has now also boots when battery and the attached cable.

  Why is this happening?
  I am interested to know, is because this laptop already has given me a few problems. The laptop also bought very recently, so I can still return it for a refund (which I seriously think!).

  What should I do guys? Any help/advice you give to this topic would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you
  Jay

  > All that's happened is that the initial toshiba screen appears, followed by a black screen frozen (showing underscore in the top left corner).

  Underscore flashing in the left corner means that the BIOS battery was empty or something wrong with the HARD drive (possibly BIOS didn't find the right source of start-up)

  I recommend access to BIOS and set it to the default value. Save the changes and try to start the device again.

  You should also keep the laptop connected to the mains for about 24 hours and the laptop should be ON as well.
  This will help the CMOS battery.
